  Hmm... Typo3 isn't quite right either.  The "M" isn't quite the right shape. But I think it's pretty close.

  I like these.  Especially the troll one.  I think the font needs to be "heavier" though.  Maybe make it bold?

  It is Bold  Photoshop only gave a Medium option for me so it's as bold as it can get

  So it's a Photoshop effect? Can it be done with Ning?

  Personally I'd be happy looking at either of those trolls every day...

  Keep playing about with the font!

  Which one do you think looks better? First or second? Also, if menu is going to be on the banner, I need to make place for it

  If nobody objects, I'm going to set the first of these two as the banner for the time being (until an official one is created).

  Vaz, can you post the two banners with no text?  I'd like to play with the font.

  Sure... We'll see how much GIMP likes the .PSD files.

   The problem is with the background. If we keep the black background for the banner it will look almost the same as before. If we make it transparent the menu bar will end up disconnected. I wanted to have such a banner that menu would be on it, maybe make a special place for it on top or something.

  The bar can be moved about unless I'm mistaken and I'm pretty sure it's possible to wipe out the black background like on my page...

  Emer, here's the cropped copy of the box for the background if you want to test it...

  Is it possible to tile the box i.e. put another right under it so it seems like a solid picture?

  Looks good, the title should be smaller and in one line, I'm gonna take some of the ideas and make a background along with it.

  Looks good, I'm glad this is making progress, I'd contribute, but Mason and Vaz are doing it brilliantly by themselves!

  How about this? What do you think of the line? Useless?

  No, I think the line looks good mate...

  I think Armathyx is right about having it all on one line though. It's not as creative but I do think it's neater...

  I think it could go on one line, and you could keep that separate line beneath it.

  Hold on a second, I'm working on the background too.

  All in one line will either make the text go on the skull or the sword or make the text too small compared to the banner itself. I agree on having Skyrim and Blog on one line but putting The there will make it worse

  Here are two versions with lines. All in one line

  Maybe this arrangement would be good?
